Best time to visit Mozambique
Mozambique is best visited during the dry season from April to October. This is when the weather is cooler and drier, roads are passable, and diving conditions are ideal along the coast. The wet season from November to March brings tropical rains and can make rural roads difficult. Whale shark season runs from October to February around the Bazaruto Archipelago. The southern beaches near Vilanculos and Tofo are busiest from June to September.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
